Chapter 706: Divine Monarch’s Defeat, the Assassination of Tiankai!

To defeat Tiankai, one would either need to withstand the final blow or exhaust their power during the ascension process in the Earthly Branch Cave.

According to common understanding, the Divine Monarch should lean toward the latter.

The Divine Monarch mastered the Red Heaven True Immortal Law, possessing what could be called infinite power, and could use his utmost strength at any time. In just twelve seconds, he could forcibly maintain the Great Annihilation, which could very well break through the Earthly Branch Cave!

Even if Tiankai embodied the peak of the status of the king of the Manifest Realm, she remained just a king and not the Monster King; she was within the realm that the Mystic Realm Divine Monarch could contend with!

“The end of the world is at hand!”

Tiankai remained cautious, fearing that the Divine Monarch might unleash some unknown means again. So, when the twelve seconds arrived, she poured all her strength into unleashing the mightiest strike of the Earthly Branch Cave, determining victory or defeat with this one blow!

The twelve beams of light twisted and blurred, transforming into a blazing white disk. At that moment, Tiankai’s divinity peaked, and twelve pure black segments appeared in her pink hair, contrasting clearly with it, while her pupils turned completely black, surrounded by rings of pink light that maintained Tiankai’s reason.

As Tiankai slowly but steadily gestured her spell, all power exploded at that moment. The twelve beams, piercing through heaven and earth, became like swords of judgment, piercing into the Heavenly Stem Cave Heaven, penetrating nebulae, destroying stars, and decomposing this cave space, comparable to that of the solar system.

The once unbeatable cave found itself powerless against the Earthly Branch Cave.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Under everyone’s watch, the Heavenly Stem Cave, which covered the battlefield and cast reality, was nearly pierced through like a hedgehog, and world stability was shattered.

As the owner of the cave, Shui Changdong was also severely injured, faint cracks appearing on his surface—an omen of defeat and decline!

“Indeed powerful, even the Heavenly Stem Cave cannot withstand it; the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth geared towards this will be completely negated.”

“However, I wonder if you’ve resolved your flaws. If you cannot grow, when you reach a higher realm, the power of this cave will no longer suffice…”

“Burn completely, Heavenly Stem Cave!”

Shui Changdong extended his arms, and the entire Heavenly Stem Cave ignited from within, all rules and orders transforming into fuel.

His initial use of the Great Annihilation was not perfect; after all, he had just opened the Heavenly Stem Cave and had not even begun his ten-year battle with the World God—how could he truly comprehend the cave’s nature to unleash a real Great Annihilation?

The forcibly halted Great Annihilation was merely shrinking the universe, devoid of the pure and ultimate power of the encompassing Power of Opening Heaven and Earth.

Within those twelve seconds, he exerted all his effort to simulate and improve the Great Annihilation, attempting to replicate the power he would use in the future.

“Boom!”

The sound of destruction echoed, and the world slowly began to play a lament!

The chaotic imagery of doom started to appear in the Heavenly Stem Cave, a scene twisted and bizarre, radiating incredible energy that reversed the nature of power just by looking at it!

This was the power of destruction summoned by the Great Annihilation, akin to the ‘absolute rules singularity,’ though it had not reached the absolute level!

“You’ve completely abandoned the cave, thinking alike with the Earthly Branch Cave!”

Tiankai hadn’t expected Shui Changdong’s learning ability to be this strong; he had just glimpsed the secrets of the Twelve Earthly Branches and immediately used the Ten Heavenly Arts to replicate them!

Though it was crude, far less powerful than what the Earthly Branch Cave could muster, it was undoubtedly feasible!

The Master of Heaven’s Cavern creating a cave is equal to the Self Three Heavens, a power set in a certain dimension. People have a connection with the cave, but they are not completely bound.

Many cultivators can survive after self-destructing their ‘Self Three Heavens,’ and the Master of Heaven’s Cavern can too!

By directly abandoning the cave, Shui Changdong could indeed create a brief period of safety. The two enormous caves were far too massive for mutual destruction to be simple.

“Divine Monarch, do you wish to battle me in this fleeting moment?”

She shouted, “It’s useless! Even if I’m not at my peak after becoming an adult, I can still suppress ordinary Honored Beings. You are merely a Mystic Realm cultivator; do you truly think you can defy fate?”

Without the cave, how could the Divine Monarch’s strength match anyone from Zixue Academy?

He could hardly defeat anyone!

With perfect Extreme Spiritual Law, Unique Law, and evolution technique, combined with the incredible power of Heavenly Path and his innate physical qualities and talents!

The Divine Monarch suffered a complete defeat!

Meanwhile, she reincarnated, retaining the talents of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox, making her unmatched and undefeated, capable of sweeping through the young generation of humanity. How could the Divine Monarch compete with her?

Regarding this, Shui Changdong provided no explanation. He crossed the clash of the two caves, gathering his final strength to attack Tiankai.

The Ten Heavenly Arts converged, intertwining into four colors. His control ability could only manage to unleash the four-turn grand technique, which fell far short of the supreme genius standing at the top of the Red Heaven realm.

Tiankai still sensed that Shui Changdong had a scheme. Without holding back, she directly unleashed her strongest power—the phantom that merged the power of the Celestial Fox and the Divine Phoenix forcibly stripped away a trace, allowing her to briefly step into the realm of national destruction. With one hand, she suppressed Shui Changdong, causing the ancient battlefield that reappeared due to the collapse of the Heavenly Stem Cave to evaporate across a thousand-mile radius, even blocking the light from the heavens!

Caves and national destruction were indeed not on the same level, yet they still held the power to obliterate the world. Under everyone’s gaze, in just one strike, Shui Changdong’s power shattered, his projection breaking into pieces and disappearing, causing the Heavenly Stem Cave to vanish suddenly.

“Hehe, keep going, don’t despair…”

In the end, the Divine Monarch left Tiankai with words she couldn’t comprehend before calmly disappearing on the sixth-stage Heavenly Path.

As myriad rays of colorful light descended, uplifting and surrounding Tiankai, she had no choice but to cast aside his words.

There was no way.

A vast power beyond control surged forth, nearly drowning her reason!

Her bloodline evolved!

Her power sublimated!

Her body and soul surged at an unimaginable speed!

This was the power granted by the rules of the World God of Slaughter after defeating Shui Changdong. This strength should have belonged to the entire Red Heaven realm, yet it had been sealed by the Divine Monarch into the Heavenly Path, allowing the human race to monopolize it. The accumulated power of the demons over these twenty thousand years fell far short of that of the human race!

…

Zixue Academy.

Four figures floated in the air, their auras beginning to surge. All had passed the sixth-stage Heavenly Path, with Tiankai being especially prominent, her rising power vast and boundless, distorting and crushing the space. The entire academy’s facilities began to buckle under this strength!

“The formation, initially opened, is almost crushed by Tiankai’s power. She truly defeated the Divine Monarch and, in a single step, reached a realm near that of the Honored Beings!”

“A mere demon, just a mere demon!!!”

Some could not understand how, with the once unbeatable strength of the Divine Monarch, he could suppress and sweep away everything so easily. Why did he need to sign a contract with the True Spirit, causing the current Celestial Empire to favor these demons?

“Do demons deserve to live in the Red World?!”

Suddenly, someone filled with strong killing intent took action—it was a Mystic Realm outsider who, for unknown reasons, risked his life to attack!
